California Is a Doctor's Dream

The cold and flu season is almost behind us, but here's a nice bit of news, just in case:

California is one of "2015’s Best States for Doctors," says personal finance site WalletHub. That's kind of a no-brainer, given Hollywood's hypochondriacs and its plastic surgery–obsessed celebs. Beverly Hills is like one, giant high-end doctor's office.

There's plenty of money here for docs who want to cash in on what the site describes as a $176,000 postgraduate education.
